Spencer Gross asks: Whatever happened to Bellinger? Is he no longer a piece for the future?
Ed says: Spencer, I waited until after Thursday’s game to answer this. We saw more of the same, with rookie tight end Theo Johnson getting the majority of the playing time.
Here is what I think is happening. The Giants see what Daniel Bellinger is, and they see that he is a perfectly adequate player. When they look at Johnson they see a bigger, faster, more athletic player with upside to become far more what Bellinger is.
